Embracing change and transformation

As beings, we were born for transformation. It is not our purpose in life, but we all transform, without any exception.

As human beings, our transformation happens in many levels. Yes, there is the physical transformation and no matter how many surgeries you do, your body has just one tendency: growing and decaying. However, there is one transformation that impacts all others and that is in the area of awareness.

There are many reports on awareness and lots of research, but what is the importance for that?

Awareness, just like the body, has a tendency to "grow". That means a baby is much less aware than a teenager. However, after a while we reach a kind of maturity and then awareness stops "growing".

Awareness growth means learning and being able to change, and coping with changes. When your awareness is growing you can feel how you are able to change your mind, you are open to embrace people who are different than you and you keep on trying new things. It happened the last time when you were an adventurer, ready to try new routes for your work, holidays or creating a family.

But, just like with the body, sometimes you can feel some stiffness ("I can't accept that!"), tiredness ("This is too much for me!") or lack of strength ("This is my principle, but I can't uphold to it anymore!"). Just like with the body, you can do some exercises and keep it fit, but different than the body your awareness can get younger and ready for new things. Your awareness can get a new life...

If you really need to embrace changes at a faster speed, or you are going through times of crisis or chaos in your life, you need to exercise your awareness right now. The best method I know for that is meditation as it disconnects you from the external environment and it opens you for a deep inner experience.

When you meditate constantly you will notice that changes won't affect you negatively so much. Gradually, you will be able to cope with changes better and start your own changes in life until you get to that transformation, the final process in a chain of changes.

Your awareness will never get old, will never decay and you will be able to appreciate life from a totally new point of view.
